Tata Motors’ Q4 and FY 2020-21 results were strong, with significant improvement in profitability thanks to the company's cost-saving programme as well as robust sales volumes across segments. The financial risk profile also improved substantially. Liquidity is sound. However, we note that Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) continued to write down its capitalised development assets, with the capitalisation cost being much higher than the industry average (e.g. BMW and Daimler). Five quarters ago, JLR wrote down GBP 3.1 bn "due to slowdown in China and Brexit uncertainties". Higher capitalised costs will bolster EBITDA (costs are understated, while depreciation is not captured). The frequent writing down of development costs suggests that some of these costs should be categorised as operating expenses instead.
